6. I have family in the 25%.
From what I can gather, they believe g-d gave * the presidency. Their belief in g-d solidifies their belief in *. They further justify this by revealing that * talks to g-d who instructs him in policy, and he is a better human being than anyone else. The idea of questioning * is tantamont with questioning g-d's will, and it is just something one does not do, faith does not allow it. These people are brainwashed and it has been very, very effective. You can not even approach them with a question or criticism of the administration, they pull back - a pavlovian response, as if you are satanic, as their faith has taught them to do. It would be corruptive to their faith to even engage in conversation that challenges their beliefs, so, they never do. This has been my personal experience in reaching out to them. Now, I no longer bother. It is a waste of time.
